Team India

 A dream start to India's innings. The Captain has decided to bat and to face the first ball himself. That the Opposition has a reduced bowling strength in no way detracts from his maiden appearance at the Delhi grounds.It was in the same pitch that the team BJP had been bowling less and hedging more,when UPA was batting.The bureaucracy has been dusted and he intends to put the best in the sitting room showcase.The invitation to SAARC leaders at his anointing is less of a show of BJP's solid presence in the LS and more of his instinct to break away from a decade of moribund foreign policy initiatives.One reason why the Pakistan PM has been induced to come on the same page ,that of keeping the passage for dialogue open The same with Colombo.The anxieties of the Dravidian parties across the aisles will matter when the nuts and bolts of vexatious bi-lateral issues come up for discussions.One would be happy to see him open with a partner who is capable of dealing with the spin of " inflation ', as the pitch has been highly conducive to this for three years now.With a good opening score,the batting line up thereafter must bring to the crease veterans and bright debutants to clinically deal with equally important matters of the state,internal security, growth ,fiscal excellence and others. With his known acumen to put together a monitoring team who would assiduously watch replays and advise timely corrections be it in methods or strategy,the new PM is today eminently the favorite. The Sensex score card will no doubt indicate a high run rate,but the captain would be more concerned with finally posting a winnable total than the number of sixes registered.
